Is it worth buying insulated work shoes?

When fall and winter come, it is only natural that we all start looking for warmer clothes and shoes. Both in our wardrobe and in stores. If you work outside, you need winter boots that will guarantee you comfort and will not fail in difficult conditions. Is it worth choosing insulated work shoes? Or maybe there are other, more modern and comfortable solutions? Let's check it out!

Winter work shoes - what should they be like?

You will probably answer immediately that it is warm. This is a common mistake, because today producers make insulated work shoes less and less. This is a bit of ecology and a bit of the fact that in general we are all more aware of what I have. Artificial materials are rated less and less because they are not beneficial to humans. In addition, work shoes with insulation are uncomfortable after long hours of use. They often have an unpleasant smell because the feet sweat too much - this type of insulation does not transport moisture to the outside of the shoe. When it is cold outside and you tire with damp shoes on the inside, you even risk catching a cold. What are you gonna do? Freeze? Not necessarily.

Good work shoes do not have to be warmed to fulfill their functions well. All you need to do is choose the right waterproof model and add warm, but breathable socks to it. Therefore, now we will answer the question of what winter boots are suitable for outdoor work.

Waterproof work shoes - do they breathe?

As we have already established, men's work shoes do not need to have additional insulation to provide you with the appropriate thermal comfort. A much better solution will be to use waterproof work shoes. In this category, we can recommend you, for example, the Engelbert Strauss David S3 safety boots. On the inside, they are upholstered with a soft and breathable fabric that ensures thermal comfort. What's more, this model of work shoes has a waterproof membrane, so it is suitable for both rainy and snowy or frosty days. The S3 work shoes are made of coarse-grained buffalo leather. They have a steel toe cap that perfectly protects the front part of the foot. Another advantage is that they have a heel stabilizer and a non-slip sole. You can, for example, perform kneeling work there. Leather work shoes are also a good choice. One of the most interesting models are undoubtedly various work shoes from the Base Protection brand. The upper in many models is made of waterproof waxed leather. Another advantage is the anti-bacterial, breathable SmellStop lining. Some models with the CI label offer protection from the cold down to -17 degrees Celsius, so as you can see, these leather winter work shoes will handle the toughest conditions. If you are looking for work shoes for winter that will provide you with maximum comfort, then our Solid Gear offer is also worth noting. These work shoes are made of high-quality materials, so they will stay with you for the next few seasons - literally a legend among craftsmen.

Which work shoe socks?

Work shoes alone may not provide you with adequate thermal comfort. Therefore, you should always wear warm socks with them. Socks made of natural fibers, such as wool, will be the best choice. Maybe you think wool socks bite and are too warm. Nothing could be more wrong - wool is a delicate material with hygroscopic properties, which means that it wicks moisture away from the skin. In our store you will also find thermoactive socks made of technical fibers. Which one you choose depends only on your individual expectations. To ensure better hygiene when using shoes, it is also worth choosing insoles for work shoes. All these elements will ensure comfortable work on autumn and winter days.
